Somehow I missed that offering! But I do treasure my loose-leaf binders. And, don't forget the index which was courtesy of Peter Nelson. Anyone who knows him knows how precise he is. Haven't found a mistake, and do not expect to!

First I have seen a Book 3, they are not on Al's site. Were they a limited edition?

Beats me. I do not recall such an item being offered. I'd have bought one if I had.

There was no "Book 3" in the traditional sense, just the Newsletter in loose-leaf form. Great info.

[Carlsr]

So I guess that book on YouTube was a sort of prototype?

[Dick Hosmer]

I honestly do not know - it may have been, or Al may have produced a few for his closest friends? I'll ask him.

[45govt]

It is one I had bound from copies of my original pages.
It takes up a lot less shelf space.

[Carlsr]

Great idea!! Looks well done. Glad I didn't write Al and ask him if he had a book 3 laying around lol!!
I hope Dick didn't ask him yet either.

[Dick Hosmer]

I have not - we're all safe!

[Carlsr]

My News Letters have arrived!!
47903

is there anything that you find the most interesting?

[Carlsr]

Well Fred I have yet to sit down and read them but I'm Shure I'll find all of them interesting😁

[Dick Hosmer]

In some ways, I've found that they're almost better than the books, in that they dig a lot deeper.

[Carlsr]

Just browsing through the fist folder of the news letters. I have seen they note several mistakes in book one. I have an over run of the original book one and was wondering if these mistakes or miss quote's were corrected in the memorial edition?

[Dick Hosmer]

The ONLY person who can clarify that for you is Al Frasca. My GUESS, as an author myself, used to revising, reformatting, etc., is that any mistakes would not have been corrected due to the amount of work involved. While Book One may exist in electronic form now, I'm about 95% sure it did not when being written in the 1970s.

[45govt]

Hello
Please give an example and I am sure someone with the Memorial Edition will check.
I will if I did not give mine away or I can find it.

[Carlsr]

Tried to post a picture of page 52 in the newsletter. I'll have to download it to my computer to post as there is no place for me to add it here using my phone.

[45govt]

This one?
Both of the errors listed in book one appear in the memorial edition

[Carlsr]

Yes, that is the one.
Thanks you.
